The section between Flecken and Dorf Zechlin will be paved in 2025, creating a car-free zone 🙏

Situation November 2025: no chance of crossing the bridge. Construction work is still in full swing. Maybe it's possible on weekends if you sneak through.

From here, the Rhin flows through pristine nature. A beautiful canoe.

Not the Rhine, but the Rhin flows through the bridge there!

The diversion through the forest just before the lock is absolutely NOT suitable for normal e-bikes.

Cycle path through beautiful deciduous and pine forest, partly a bit difficult for people with back problems, very beautiful castle complex in Rheinsberg

Important: The bridge near Rottstiel after the campsite is closed until Q4 2025. It will probably be possible to cross it again sooner. However, there is currently only "no bridge." You can return and walk around the lake via the Fontaneweg trail, right by the water.
